locally by an internal database stored in the machine, or by a card reader or authentication
solution with the Xerox Secure Access feature.
The Administrator can select one of these environments to provide network authentication:
• Kerberos (Unix, Linux)
• Kerberos (Windows ADS)
• SMB (Windows NT 4)
• SMB (Windows ADS)
• LDAP
User's are required to enter at least a user name and password based on the authentication
environment.

Local Authentication

The System Administrator can set up a list of user accounts that are defined locally on the
machine.

Guest Access

The System Administrator can define a passcode which users enter at the machine to gain
access. Guest Access can be enabled with Network Authentication. Users then have the
option to enter their Username or the guest account at the machine.

Foreign Device Interface (FDI)

A third party access and accounting device such a coin-operated or a card reader can be
attached to the machine. To enable this option, the Foreign Device Interface kit must be
installed. Follow the installation instructions which are supplied with the kit.
Once the FDI kit is installed, the Administrator must enable the FDI using CentreWare
Internet Services.

Authentication and Accounting

Authentication works independently of any accounting access that is enabled on the
machine. If an accounting feature requires a user to enter account details, this will be
required in addition to the authentication service that has been enabled.

Authentication Type

This menu specifies the method that you will use to authenticate Users. The 2 options are:
• Require Network Authentication.
• Require Local Authentication.

Information Checklist

1. Ensure that the Xerox machine is fully functional on the network.
TCP/IP and HTTP protocols must be configured so that Internet Services can be
accessed.
